This Liverpool team isn't any better than last year's team. Tottenham just can't hang with Liverpool. 15-2 in the last 4 meetings between these two clubs.

Well of course they aren't, but last years' team finished second so they were REALLY good. So far through the early stages there's no reason to think this team can't finish third which would be a massive accomplishment after losing Suarez imo. As early as it is, it does look like Chelsea and City are in a class above the rest of the pack right now but of course things could chance. Arsenal will be good but they still have issues up top. So far I'm really pleased as to what I'm seeing from a young team that hasn't spent much time playing together. And we're still missing Lallana who is expected to make a big time impact

This is classic you. You think all your teams are championship-bound then when they prove they aren't, you say they are shit. You were calling Appalachian State's secondary disastrous not too long ago but now your mouth is firmly on their cocks, if they lose anytime soon, you'll be ready to lynch them. I won't even get started on your Panthers overreaction after two games earlier this season. Simmer down please.

I'm sure my expectations were too high but there's no excuse in Liverpool being the worst team in the league which as of late they have been. Rodgers needs to actually grow a pair but he won't. Mignolet, Gerrard, Lovren, Skrtel, Johnson all need to gtfo but they won't be going anywhere because Rodgers refuses to change shit.

And the thing about App State is irrelevant because they went from being 1-5 coming off a loss to Liberty (an average FCS school) to winning 5 straight and rolling through conference play while dominating the teams that as of late had been the best in the conference (ULL and Ark State) on the road. I've never seen such a turnaround in a team.

Liverpool hasn't been the worst team in the league by any stretch. (Overreaction). Rodgers changes everything whenever Liverpool isn't rolling through opponents. That's why Liverpool looks like they do. He changed the formation multiple times this game for no reason. He makes knee-jerk substitutions because he wants to change things. That's all he does is change shit. Who is going to replace Mignolet, Gerrard (lol at thinking they'd get rid of him), Lovren, Skrtel or Johnson? Teams that change all that in January end up fighting relegation. Liverpool has too much talent to get into a relegation fight but they'd be down in the bottom half of the table. Maybe... just maybe... when they got all that money from Suarez, they should have strengthened their defense, which is the reason they didn't win the title last season, instead of trying to raid Southampton for overpriced Englishmen. Meanwhile, Southampton is thanking Liverpool for sucking.

How is that irrelevant? You've never seen this type of turnaround? You only started watching sports this season or something? You're overreacting because it's one of your favorite teams. It's completely relevant. They aren't going to the College Football Playoff. They hit a good run. Fair dues to them. If they start next season 0-2, you'll be looking for someone's head on a platter and you know it.

What about the Panthers? Beginning of the season, all the pundits were dead wrong for saying the Panthers were going to take a step back. Cam Newton was Hall of Fame bound and Luke Keuchly was the best linebacker in NFL history. Now? Cam Newton needs to get off the team because they've ruined him.

So, even if the Appalachian State thing is irrelevant, the majority of the time, you are ridiculously erratic and reactionary to your favorite teams.

I wouldn't call Liberty average... they aren't as good as they have been in previous years, but they just knocked off Coastal this weekend.

That's true. Over the past few years they've been churning out some pretty good teams, they were 8-4 this year too. They have really nice facilities and all. But either way App had no business losing to them. However that might have been the best thing that could have happened to App's program, looks like it turned out to be a real eye-opening day for everyone involved in the program. We would batter them now.

Over the past few weeks they have been. 2 goals in 4 games, one of those goals off a deflection. I would rather see Lucas any day than Gerrard. Liverpool tried to strengthen their defense just failed. Lovren and Moreno were both pricy signings. I like Moreno but Lovren is just awful.

Goals aren't the end-all, be-all barometer of team performance. Aston Villa has been far worse than Liverpool recently. So have QPR, Leicester who haven't won a game since beating United in September, Burnley who hadn't won at all until the last two games, and Hull. Gerrard isn't a defensive midfielder and at this age, he definitely doesn't have the pace to change. That's an example of Brendan Rodgers attempting to change everything and get cute. Liverpool weakened their defense by letting Daniel Agger go for nothing to Brondby. One centerback doesn't help them when Skrtel and Sakho are bad. It doesn't matter who is at fullback when Rodgers wants them playing past the center circle. They didn't strengthen shit which is a direct consequence of their "transfer committee."

Dude App State was an FCS team what, last year? For them to lose to one of the top 24 FCS teams isn't like if Texas or Alabama lost to an FCS team. While App should expect to beat them now that they're in the big leagues, it's about like if Rutgers lost to someone like Memphis. Yeah they should expect to beat them but it's a minor upset. Also, as far as App's turnaround this season goes, I'm willing to say confidently that Texas A&M's midseason turnaround was both more impressive and more important.

I agree Gerrard shouldn't be playing defense. Lucas was one of the best tacklers in prem a few years ago before he suffered an injury against I believe Chelsea in the Carling Cup. There is no reason he shouldn't be playing CDM right now, Gerrard gets bypassed in the midfield like it's nothing. Liverpool should be running a diamond formation with Lucas at CDM, Lallana at LM (I know, it's out of position), Can at RM and Coutinho at CAM. Coutinho has been our best player for awhile now. Then put Sterling and whoever up top. Well I would at least like to see that. Daniel Sturridge is made out of play dough I'm not sure if he's just had shit luck or what but we need a new striker. Origi can't get here soon enough. Hopeful for Lacazette and Carvalho in January

Emre Can is the prototypical German box-to-box defensive midfielder like Bastian Schweinsteiger is and Michael Ballack was. The only other position he's played is left back in spot duty. He has no business out wide on the right. I don't even know what gave you that idea. And diamond formation? No, just no. Teams don't use that shit anymore. Liverpool needs to cover up its defensive frailties. Lucas, Can or Henderson need to be in front of the back four to break up play before Skrtel can do his usual and commit a dumbass foul. Then you can put Courtinho or Gerrard in front of them in the hole behind the striker. Sterling would get eaten alive trying to play in the channels between centerbacks. He's too small and too weak. Keep him out on the wings. Put Sturridge back at RW like he played last season. Balotelli in the middle. Origi is overrated in my opinion. He benefited from Lukaku running defenses into the ground at the World Cup before he came off the bench. When Origi started, he did nothing. I mean, it's pretty obvious when you see he's only scored 9 goals at Lille in 51 appearances. 0.17 GPA average has no business being a starting striker in any top flight league. William Carvalho is not joining Liverpool if he goes to the Premier League.

A blast. I've been down there a few times when I was younger, but this was my first time I could enjoy the nightlife while out there. Went to a few different bars downtown and they were all great and the weather was perfect throughout the day.

Not sure if you get NHL Network or not, but the World Junior Championships are on the channel for the next few days. Canada is led by Connor McDavid, while we're led by current Boston University freshman Jack Eichel... figured you'd might be interested since those two are the sport's next transcendent phenoms.

Cam looks fucking awful out there. It's crazy he sunk from being rookie of the year to being at this level by his fourth year. I blame nothing but the coaching staff and front office. I still think he can be a great QB, but damn he landed in a bullshit situation.

Uh Cam has been terrible but I just think he's gotten completely rattled. He hasn't been fully healthy all year and he's playing behind one of the worst offensive lines in NFL history. Also has no receivers whatsoever, and the worst offensive coordinator in the NFL. He didn't have a chance to succeed this season and Dave Gettleman knew it. I still think he's a really good QB

London Fletcher tweeted something the other night like "Sometimes you just have a banged up year #CamNewton" and that kind of just sums things up. Simply Cam hasn't been healthy all year, he has a terrible offensive line, weak receiving core, etc. He just doesn't seem to have the same passion for it right now. He's gonna be fine and is gonna get a huge contract soon (whether it be from Carolina or someone else) but you really can't put much into how he's performing right now.

I don't know who I dread watching worse at this point Liverpool or the Panthers

Rivera is a fucking dipshit moron pussy ass for running on third and five and settling with a 45+ yard field goal. I knew at that point we had lost and deserved to lose. Only chance he gets fired though is if the players absolutely bash him, we need that to happen. He's lost this team and fanbase. Fuck ron Rivera.

this team was 3-8-1 and honestly looked like one of, if not the worst, team in the NFL. gettleman found some decent o-lineman, secondary especially cbs started hitting their stride and we're a different team. cam is back
